With the regular DJGPP distribution (the 'specs' file and the linker
script, in particular), this wouldn't have occured. But ...

Looks like you also have the installed 'specs' file from pgcc, which
is the cause of your problem. Re-install the original DJGPP specs
file (or, if you know how to, merge the two), and all should be well.

The problem is that DJGPP doesn't have a profiling version of
the libc (libc_p.a), so the magic that turns '-lc' into '-lc_p' if
you link with the '-pg' switch has to be disabled. Unless you're
willing to build your own profiling libc, that is :-)
